My First Job: Angie Jennings-Soderholdz

• First job: I worked at Twin Pines Nursing and Rehabilitation Center for four years, starting when I was about 16 years old.

• What it taught me: It taught me to really listen and learn about these people's lives - to hear the stories that they told me. I was lucky because I was young and healthy. That was very rewarding work.
